Brooks' First Snow

Finally Some Snow!!!

It is rare for us to get through October without snow falling here in the city. Here is an article from Tuesday to show how rare it is:

STILL NO SNOW IN DENVER...Tuesday, November 11
While there was snow in extreme eastern and northeastern Colorado on Monday, there has been no snow yet in Denver. It is rare to get past Veterans Day without measurable snow in Denver, but it has happened before. We made to November 15 before having snow back in 1987, and a year later in 1988. Denver's all-time record for latest first measurable snow is November 21, 1934.

So, here we are on Friday, November 14th and we are just now getting snowfall...and it's beautiful! I just told a friend the other day that I was ready for snow. Usually in October it starts to get chilly around here and then snow. Our average temps for October and now November are in the low 50's, and we've been having 60's and 70's! Does that mean a warmer winter for us, or that the weather is just teasing us and the winter is going to be bitter cold?! We'll have to wait and see. I'm just happy today to wake up to a layer of snow in the backyard.
